tpbm is craving food that you can only get one time a year, even in this day and age

(note: when you boil a bagel it partially cooks the outer layer before baking, giving the proper ratio of chewy crust to dense interior, because not as much water can escape when baked. If it's only baked, it's just round bread. Trust me, if you've ever had a real bagel you can tell the difference)

Yes! My Sicilian mom and grandma would make cannoli at Christmas. We couldn't eat any until after the family dinner. Along with family and friends, we would have over 75 people coming and going at Christmas. and those cannoli they use to make are the best in the world!

Do some folks flout this rule? Sometimes. So either know the moderate risk and accept it, don't accept the risk and wear a little bit of something, or wear something on your face or head that makes you feel less recognizable (sunglasses, a fun wig, a mask, a big hat, an animal nose--whatever you like. This is a common strategy). Or wear a merkin and pasties.
